Mackay Bar Airport (ID28) is a small private grass airstrip in the remote backcountry of Idaho County, Idaho, lying some ten nautical miles southwest of Dixie. It has a single runway, no instrument approach, and no published radio frequencies, making it a strictly visual, self-briefed destination for pilots comfortable with unimproved backcountry strips.
